Robinson’s career night leads Norse past Milwaukee for fourth-straight victory

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Northern Kentucky University Norse men's basketball took its three-game win streak on the road on Friday night, battling Milwaukee. The Norse jumped out to a big first-half lead and held on in the second for a dominant victory as Kael Robinson put together a career night. 

THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Northern Kentucky - 85, Milwaukee - 67
LOCATION: UWM Panther Arena - Milwaukee, Wisconsin
RECORDS: Northern Kentucky: 13-5, 5-2 HL | Milwaukee: 7-10, 3-3 HL

BOX SCORE BREAKDOWN
– Northern Kentucky dominated on the glass, winning the rebound battle 43-29, including 18-10 on the offensive boards. The Norse scored 25 points off those second chances.
– The Norse also did well in transition, scoring 28 points on the fast break and 20 off turnovers, despite only forcing nine Panther cough-ups. 
– Kael Robinson led the Norse with 29 points on nine three-pointers. He also grabbed seven rebounds and had a steal. 
– Donovan Oday had a great night off the bench, going for 21 points on 6-9 shooting, grabbing six rebounds, and recording three steals. 
– Tae Dozier stuffed the stat sheet, finishing with 13 points, ten rebounds, four assists, two steals, and a block. It marked his first double-double of the season. 
– Ethan Elliott dished out eight assists on the night, also scoring five points and grabbing four rebounds. 
– LJ Wells grabbed nine rebounds, but fouled out of the game with just five points. 

GAME NOTES
– Robinson's 29-point outing marked the fourth-highest scoring night of his career, and his highest as a Norse. It also marked the most points in a game by any Norse this season, and tied for the seventh-most in any Horizon League game this year. 
– Robinson's nine made three pointers tied the most in a single game in Northern Kentucky's Division I history, as Tyler Sharpe also made nine against Youngstown State on January 16, 2020. It marked the 24th occasion that a player has made nine or more threes in a single game this season, and the first in the Horizon League this year. 
– Donovan Oday recorded his 13th game with 10-plus points off the bench, tied for the national lead. It marked his 10th game with 15-plus points off the bench, something no other player in Division I has done this season. 

UP NEXT
– NKU heads up to Green Bay on Sunday afternoon, seeking its fifth-consecutive win.
